I doubt it. I've heard of some guys having a second small winch on the rear bumper. I'm interested in this also

I would seriously recommend against it. It would be dangerous in certain aspects.

I believe that the small winches like that are designed for atv's and rhinos. Not full size vehicles. And it would just look silly!

It would burn up quick. You want at least an 8000 lb on a 2 door. I went with a 9500 lb on my jku

I'm installing a mile marker 2500 on my Jeep this weekend. But will be using it as a suck down winch.

Never seen less than 8000lb on a Jeep. If you get in a spot where you really need it 3000)lb just wouldn't be enough.
